     I have had a Windows XP computer networked to my OS/2 computer for years.  I   
   access the volumes and print on the attached printer.  Now I want to move to   
   Win7.  Apart from the huge reinstall of applications I have to do I in the   
   Windows environment I have a conceptual blockage with working out how to   
   retain that connection if possible?   
      
     XP connects because I have Netbeui working on it.  Netbeui is not available   
   for Win7.  I have never understood SAMBA or how to get it to work.   
      
     Another option is NFS but the reading and the potential cut and try seems it   
   will blow out.   
      
     Anyone here can offer some clues?   
      
   Thanks,
